Uhr Qllliaaing illink CDrditated to the Biology Depzzrlmenhb QQ . 650 NIONG the questions of Science which harass the N6 hairless heads of our Scientists there stands out i QOM 1.391 ffl TU one that subdues all inquisitive mankind to a state ' of meditative melancholy. It is, of course, the question of the missing link. Insane fanatics have taught the world to turn to the monkey. It is not my object to disprove their belief, but to write a treatise on the subject. I claim that the missing link is the fish! Fish society may be divided into two distinct classes, namely, capitalistic fish and--the rest. Capitalistic fish are termed so be- cause they dwell in the divine sweetness of sugared aqua, commonly known as sweet waterfl The far more numerous class, which I term the restf' populate the distasteful, degrading and damp atmos- phere of seasoned aqua, unscientifically indexed as salt water. Our subject now having been properly introduced, let us proceed to what is more important. A peep into the watery abode of the fish will assure us both of their artistic temperament and of the high degree of their social state. Singers have been developed among them. What human voice is as clear and as resoundingly deep as that of the sea-bass? With the profundity of music cared for by this sea- bass, fish society provides the sweet thrilling chirps of the sea-robin. But, are they physically as dexterous as our race? I need but men- tion one fencer, whose weapon is deadlier, sharper, and used more deftly than any of ours. VVho can surpass the skillful sword-fish? But, then, are they studious, as we? Why, schools of fish are con- stantly found, whose crowded conditions are far more serious than ours. Are they as shrewd in business as we are? Are they as wealthy? Shrewder, wealthier, are they! As We possess land- sharks in the business world, fish society possesses sea-shark. whose eye-teeth are sharper, yea, much sharper. As to the John D.'s in fish society, I need only mention the fact that there are fish physically made of gold. Have they pets? Surely, they keep cat-fish and dog-fish, but, strange to say, the latter never bark. Our fathomless satisfaction at these discoveries was, however, upset by learning that fish society had its evils. I found they had a pest, a beastly boasterg it is called a blow-fish-a name very significant in- deed. They are also annoyed, in the pursuance of their religion, by a devil-fish. So, no matter how or where we turn, we are confronted with 18 A
